APC by Schneider Electric APTF10KT01 Concise Descriptor

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric APTF10KT01 is a 10 kVA step-down transformer designed to convert 208V input power to 120V output. This is critical for deploying sensitive electronic equipment, such as network video recorders (NVRs), IP cameras, or network switches, that require a stable 120V power source but are connected to a 208V facility power distribution system. It ensures proper voltage levels, protecting equipment from damage and ensuring reliable operation in commercial and industrial environments.

Compatibility

This transformer is engineered to interface with standard 208V power circuits. It is suitable for powering a wide range of low-voltage equipment commonly found in surveillance and IT infrastructure, including but not limited to, 120V-input NVRs, PoE network switches, and individual IP cameras that draw power directly from a 120V circuit. It is designed to support loads up to 10 kVA, making it suitable for multiple devices or higher-power single units within a rack or cabinet.

Installation Notes

Installation requires qualified electrical personnel familiar with 208V and 120V wiring practices. Ensure the transformer is installed in a well-ventilated area to dissipate heat generated during operation. Input and output connections must be securely made according to local electrical codes. The unit's weight and dimensions necessitate secure mounting, typically within a server rack or a dedicated electrical enclosure.
